That is a great list you provided. I'm surprised at the large amount of items as I will be attending my first retreat in a few months. Hopefully I'll have enough space in my car for me and my friend and all our "stuff."

trust me, if you prep your projects you really do not need all of this stuff...fine tune the list to fit YOUR needs and your retreat area!

I would add colored pencils and graph paper for sketching out new ideas. Also nice to have are freezer paper (for applique and/or signature/label blocks) and wax paper & a towel (for cleaning applique gunk off the iron).

yes this is just a list to help all of us and you can pack accordingly to each of you and your retreat areas

have fun!

Also - if you're going with a friend, you can share some of the supplies - like painter's tape, sizing/starch, ironing station (since most places do not have the power/space for individual ironing stations), rotary mats & rulers (again, not all places have room for large individual cutting stations and usually have a few designated cutting stations scattered throughout the area).
